[SOLVED] erroring on file upload script

[Ryoku]

I'm tinkering with file uploading on a DB on my computer before i risk destroying on on my server

 

currently I have the fallowing script written but it give me an error (probibly more knowing my horrid typeing) though i can't seem to figure out what I messed up on this.

 

I'm losely fallowing a tutorial found : Here since the one i did from Here worked well enough for me.

 

I'm trying to rename the file uploaded and move it to a folder which was successful in the last incarnation of this script (at least moving it w/o renaming it. as it sits rite now I'm getting an error from my script and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I'm pretty sure its because something wasn't declared correctly but I can't see it. I've been farting with this for the past 5 hours and I think a fresh set of eyes could help this out (considering I've been up for the past 30)

//declairing short variables

$oldname = $_FILES['TMPfile']['name'];                    //input file
$path= "../fauxgal/";                                            //path to final resting place
$postid  = $row['postid'] + 1;                                //needs database access
$fileEXT = substr($oldname, strripos($oldname, '.')); //getting extension
$newname = date(Ymd) . $postid . $fileEXT;           //declairing new file name eg."20080808-00001.jpg"
$db      = 'webserv';

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

$coment  = $_POST['GalCMT'];


//this block connects to the DB to get the post id for file name
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','','');
if(!$con){
  echo "There was a problem: " . mysql_error();
}else{
  mysql_select_db($db,$con);
  $result = mysql_query("SELECT postid FROM gallery ASC LIMIT 1");
  $row    = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  GLOBAL $row;
}// end DB query for file name

$rename  = $path . $newname;
$path    = $path . $rename;
if($oldname != none){
  if(copy($oldname,$path))     //<-----line 43
  {
    
    ?>
<div style="width:300px;border:1px solid #000000;">
  <?php
    echo ('File /" ' . $oldname . '/" moved and renamed to /" ' . $newname . '/" Sucessfuly!');
    echo ('<br //><img src=/"' . $path . '/" //>');

    echo ("Title/: " . $title . "<br //>");
    echo ("<hr />");
    echo ("Comment/: " . $coment);
  }else{
    echo "Echo There was an error!";
  }
  }
  
  mysql_close($con); //close mysql link
  
?>
</div>

 

currently i'm getting the fallowing error (image named "blank_sample.jpg" and is just a vertical image with the word "blank in it"):

 

Warning: copy(blank_sample.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\webserver\content\testscripts\fhandeler.php on line 43

Echo There was an error!

 

thank you in advance for anyone who contributes ^^

p.s. (I know its probibly not very efficent to get the postid from the DB but I'll be storing the URL in the DB anyway so might as well open it =P )

I managed to figure it out on my own after stairing at the function for a while. I don't think copy was the rite function to use. i used a move_uploaded_file() function and change the original file (['TMPfile'],['name']) to the name of the temp file (['TMPfile']['tmp_name']) and cleaned up some of those confusing variables to rename the file.

 

if someone is looking at this as reference change the code as fallows:

//from
$rename  = $path . $newname;
$path    = $path . $rename;
if($oldname != none){
  if(copy($oldname,$path))     //<-----line 43
  {

//to

$path    = $path . $newname;
if($oldname != none){
  if(move_uploaded_file($oldname,$path))     //<-----line 43
  {

 

remove the line that says $rename and change the $rename var to $newname and change copy() to move_uploded_file()

 

and its good!
